Box Office: Despicable Me 2 Easily Tops The Lone Ranger

The sequel had one of the best openings ever for an animated film, Box Office Mojo reports, earning $82.5 million over the weekend and $142 million total over its five-day opening.

The Lone Ranger, however, opened at No. 2 with an underwhelming $29.4 million for the weekend. The adaptation of the popular TV show, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, took in just $48.9 million in its first five days of release.
